C-Macs – a pure C macOS application
Here's something similar by Garret Bass:
https://github.com/garettbass/oc
...I also experimented a bit with parsing macOS system headers via clang-ast-dump and then code-generating C and Zig APIs but that didn't get far:
https://github.com/floooh/objc-ast-experiments
...with a bit of effort and maybe using libclang instead of clang-ast-dump that's definitely feasible though.
I guess a similar approach is used by the official C++ bindings for Metal:

Show HN: C-ocoa, Write iOS/macOS apps in any language, with a generated C API
This is basically also what the "official" C++ API for Metal does (https://developer.apple.com/metal/cpp/), it's an automatically generated bindings wrapper which calls into ObjC runtime functions.
I also dabbled a bit with this idea by parsing clang AST-dumps of macOS system headers:
https://github.com/floooh/objc-ast-experiments
Unfortunately this is very brittle, and also broke on ARM CPUs, I guess the shim code needs some ABI adjustments (famously, objc_msgSend has multiple "ABI shapes": https://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/objc_msgsends-new-prototype.h...).
